n our "Beginnings" lecture series, we have become time travelers. But it is very difficult for us to understand the time span covered by our time machine, the Big BangExpress. Instead of saying that the universe began some 13.82 billion years ago, let's equate all of time to a more comprehensible single calendar year. The Big Bang was on January 1. Our sun and earth were formed in August. Life began in September. The first dinosaurs appeared on December 24. Apes appeared first on Dec 31 at 10:15 am. Homo erectus appeared at 10:48 pm; humans at 11:54 pm. In this lecture, travel back an hour or so to meet Ardi, the Taung child, Lucy, George from Georgia, the Trinil fossil, KNM-ER 1808, Turkana Boy, Shanidar One and the Cro-Magnon family. You might bring a gift for when you meet your ancestors.

Within a deep and narrow cave in South Africa, paleoanthropologist Lee Berger and his team found fossil remains belonging to the newest member of our human family. The Homo naledi discovery adds another exciting chapter to the human evolution story by introducing an ancestor that was primitive but shared physical characteristics with modern humans.
Because the cave system where the bones were located was extremely difficult to access, it could be speculated that these hominins practiced a behavior previously believed to be modern: that of deliberately disposing of their dead underground.

Primitive hominids may have lived in Africa at the same time as humans, researchers say, in new findings that could change the understanding of human evolution.

A brief five-minute summary/ introduction to the evolution of hominids I made for my social studies class. Essentially, the earliest human ancestors evolved on the plains of Africa over four million years ago, as grasslands replaced forests due to long-term changes in the climate. Because apes were ideally suited to life in a forested environment, and ape-like creature that could walk upright and use its hands well was at an advantage. The music is "The All Spark", from the "Transformers" soundtrack.

Several revisions in classifying the great apes have caused the use of the term "hominid" to vary over time. Its original meaning referred only to humans (Homo) and their closest relatives. That restrictive meaning has now been largely assumed by the term "hominin", which comprises all members of the human clade after the split from the chimpanzees (Pan). (See below, for a fuller discussion of related and very similar terms, at Terminology.) The current, 21st century, meaning of "hominid" refers to all the great apes including humans. Usage still varies, however, and some scientists and laypersons still use "hominid" in the original restrictive sense; the scholarly literature generally shows the traditional usage until around the turn of the 21st century.

Denisova Cave

Denisova Cave (Денисова пещера, also Ayu-Tash) is a cave in the Bashelaksky Range of the Altai mountains, Siberia, Russia. The cave is of great paleoarchaeological and paleontological interest. Bone fragments of the Denisova hominin, sometimes called the "X woman" (referring to the maternal descent of mitochondrial DNA) originate from the cave, including artifacts dated to ~40,000 BP. The cave is located in a region thought to have been inhabited concurrently in the past by Neanderthals and modern humans.

Description

Located in Altai Krai, at the border of the Altai Republic, the cave is near the village of Chorny Anui (Чёрный Ануй), and some 150km south of Barnaul, the nearest major city. The cave, which is approximately 28 m above the right bank of the Anuy River (a left tributary of the Ob), has formed in upper Silurian limestone and contains a floor area of about 270 metres2. It contains a central chamber with a floor of 9 x 11 metres with side galleries. It has been described as both as a karst cave and as a sandstone cave.

The species is characterized by a body mass and stature similar to small-bodied human populations, a smaller endocranial volume similar to Australopithecus, and a skull shape similar to early Homo species. The skeletal anatomy presents ancestral features known from australopithecines with more recent features associated with later hominins. The fossils have not been dated.

The fossils were discovered by recreational cavers Rick Hunter and Steven Tucker in 2013.Homo naledi was formally described in September 2015 by a 47-member international team of authors led by American and South African paleoanthropologist Lee Berger of the University of the Witwatersrand, who proposed the bones represent a new Homo species. Other experts contend more analyses are needed to support this classification. There are some indications that the individuals may have been deliberately placed in the cave near the time of their death; other experts state more evidence is needed to support this hypothesis.

Mysterious Hominids from the Denisova Cave (very interesting)

A Newfound Relative of Humans
Here's a fun slide show of an expedition in Siberia, where a 30,000-year old tooth was found in a cave, that is neither that of a Neanderthal nor a Homo sapien - it's from an a newly-discovered relative of humans today.

Bence Viola from the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig discovered the tooth fragments together with Russian colleagues in the Denisova Cave in the Altai Mountains. Initially, he thought the inconspicuous-looking object was the molar of a cave bear. But when the remaining fragments of the tooth turned up, it became obvious that the researchers had found the tooth of a hominid. It was too large, however, to be from a modern man or Neanderthal. When the researchers finally succeeded in decoding the DNA of the tooth, their suspicion was confirmed: It hailed from a previously unknown early human species living in Asia at least 30,000 years ago.

Bence Viola from the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig discovered the tooth fragments together with Russian colleagues in the Denisova Cave in the Altai Mountains. Initially, he thought the inconspicuous-looking object was the molar of a cave bear. But when the remaining fragments of the tooth turned up, it became obvious that the researchers had found the tooth of a hominid. It was too large, however, to be from a modern man or Neanderthal. When the researchers finally succeeded in decoding the DNA of the tooth, their suspicion was confirmed: it hailed from a previously unknown early human species living in Asia at least 30,000 years ago.

Human Evolution: Crash Course Big History #6

In which John Green and Hank Green teach you about how human primates moved out of Africa and turned Earth into a real-life Planet of the Apes. And the apes are people! John and Hank teach you about how humans evolved, and the sort of tricks they picked up along the way like complex tool use, big brains, and fighting. Our ancestors adapted to the grasslands of Africa, and went through several iterations including Australopithecus, Homo Habilis, and Homo Ergaster/Erectus. Our ancestors tamed fire, made pressure flake tools, and eventually smartphones.

Beginnings Lecture Series: Hominids and Humans

n our "Beginnings" lecture series, we have become time travelers. But it is very difficult for us to understand the time span covered by our time machine, the Big BangExpress. Instead of saying that the universe began some 13.82 billion years ago, let's equate all of time to a more comprehensible single calendar year. The Big Bang was on January 1. Our sun and earth were formed in August. Life began in September. The first dinosaurs appeared on December 24. Apes appeared first on Dec 31 at 10:15 am. Homo erectus appeared at 10:48 pm; humans at 11:54 pm. In this lecture, travel back an hour or so to meet Ardi, the Taung child, Lucy, George from Georgia, the Trinil fossil, KNM-ER 1808, Turkana Boy, Shanidar One and the Cro-Magnon family. You might bring a gift for when you meet your ancestors.

Within a deep and narrow cave in South Africa, paleoanthropologist Lee Berger and his team found fossil remains belonging to the newest member of our human family. The Homo naledi discovery adds another exciting chapter to the human evolution story by introducing an ancestor that was primitive but shared physical characteristics with modern humans.
Because the cave system where the bones were located was extremely difficult to access, it could be speculated that these hominins practiced a behavior previously believed to be modern: that of deliberately disposing of their dead underground.

Intro to Hominids

A brief five-minute summary/ introduction to the evolution of hominids I made for my social studies class. Essentially, the earliest human ancestors evolved on the plains of Africa over four million years ago, as grasslands replaced forests due to long-term changes in the climate. Because apes were ideally suited to life in a forested environment, and ape-like creature that could walk upright and use its hands well was at an advantage. The music is "The All Spark", from the "Transformers" soundtrack.
